The record is set to have 15 tracks and will feature many of the country singer's popular hits, including "Two Doors Down," "Jolene," "9 to 5" and "I Will Always Love You."
The O2 Arena is known for hosting some of the world's biggest acts, which was the perfect venue for this performance. The 79-year-old entertainer headlined two nights there almost 20 years ago, in July 2008, while she was on her Backwoods Barbie Tour. The show was also filmed and aired on PBS.
Fans can now pre-order the Blue Skies version of the vinyl on Parton's official merch store, and it will be available to purchase on Oct. 10.Iconic Singer Dolly Parton Makes Announcement About 'Special Release' first appeared on Parade on Aug 14, 2025

Fancy Cats show set to bring Ocicats, Ragdolls and more to Greenwich
London is set to go cat crazy this summer when one of the UK's most dazzling feline events arrives in the capital. The Fancy Cats London SpeCATular will transform the University of Greenwich's Avery Hill campus into a paradise for cat lovers on August 30 and 31. The event promises a celebration of all things feline, with pedigree breeds and household cats competing for titles, prizes, and the coveted Best in Show.

Visitors can meet breeders, chat with exhibitors, and learn about different breeds in a friendly, interactive setting. Stephen Whiting, an exhibitor from Sidcup, said: "I love the friendly atmosphere at these shows and really enjoy letting the visitors meet my cats and giving them the opportunity to learn about the different breeds. "My cats enjoy meeting the people who come to visit and saying 'hello' to everybody there. "I have quite rare breeds that perhaps not many people know much about so it is a good opportunity to raise their profile and to allow a new audience to discover them."

The show will feature well-known breeds such as British, Persian, Bengal, Maine Coon, Siamese, Ragdoll, Cornish Rex, and Ocicat. Mr Whiting will be showing his chocolate spotted Ocicat, Lottie, and his black classic tabby Aztec, Laurence. The event isn't just for pedigree cats. Visitors set to purr with joy at Fancy Cats London showcase (Image: Fancy Cats London SpeCATular) There are competition classes for household pets, and the Fancy Cats Class sees pedigree and non-pedigree cats compete side-by-side. Kelly Makdissy, founder and director of the Fancy Cats Organisation, said: "Our mission is to celebrate and support cats in all their diversity by promoting ethical breeding and showcasing the beauty of all cats. "We are dedicated to preserving breeds, raising awareness about responsible ownership and highlighting the joy and companionship that cats can bring to our lives. "We foster a vibrant, inclusive community where cat lovers, responsible breeders and advocates come together to celebrate, protect and elevate the feline world."

The show will also highlight the work of cat rescue organisations. At a previous event, Kool Cat Rescue found homes for four kittens after visitors met them at the show. Founders Jools Price and Mitzi Booth said: "The shows that Fancy Cats put on give us the opportunity to highlight the work that we do to look after and find loving homes for cats in need and at the same time enable us to raise much needed funds for the work that we do. "We are delighted that four of our kittens will have now found new homes through our presence at their last show." The Fancy Cats Organisation hosts events across the UK, giving the public a chance to meet cats, talk to breeders, and experience the excitement of the show. The London event will run from 10am to 4pm on both days. Activities will include breed presentations, children's activities, cat rescue stalls, and vendors selling cat-related products.
